I am waiting for these blood tests to come back and see what happens ....
I was wondering if you heard anything about Cytomel? It has to do with T 4? I am not sure ... I feel as if I am being sabotaged since weigh GAIN & increased appetite are side effects of Synthroid ...
Can you shed light on this for me please??? HELP!!!!

I'm sorry sweetie, but I know nothing about Cytomel. My very first med for Thyroid was Synthroid too and boy did I gain. I still have high hopes for losing weight. I too have a very low metabolism. I could sit at the computer or in a recliner all day, but know I can't. It's hard to get motivated to do things and then tiring carrying the extra weigh around.
